Too far to visit the brewery, but some Warbird Beer should be available in the area! Have only seen it on the internet, so no guarantees! It is a Ft Wayne product!! Cool labeling!

Hey jcw, well "Hot Stuff" is over at the Mt. Comfort airport east of Indy off I-70. Tom Wood has his collection in Indy, but you'd probably have to some conections to see it. Of course if you follow 70 east for about an hour, there's the Air Force Museum. Have fun at the race!

Ropkey Armour Museum is in Crawfordsville, IN, just up I-74 a bit. They have aircraft and an airport and lots of tanks!
Great place to visit!
They even have the one and only X-14 on display!

My daughter will be going to Perdue in the fall, so I had some of the same questions about Indy. In addition to Ropkey the Air Force Museum is not too far and Ft. Knox is a short trip too. I am looking forward to visiting the area in the future.
